Lead Cloud DevOps Engineer - GCP

Create your best future and join Westpac as a Lead Cloud DevOps Engineer - GCP.

What's the role?

We are seeking an experienced GCP Lead Cloud DevOps Engineer to lead the design, development, and delivery of a full stack cloud platform for a major banking client on Google Cloud. This is a hands on technical leadership role you will work across platform engineering, full stack application development, and data/AI capabilities to ensure solutions are well designed and successfully implemented, running in production. You will play a key role in taking initiatives from concept to deployment, helping engineers navigate complexity, solve problems, and deliver scalable, secure, and reliable systems. This is not a pure architecture role; you will be expected to stay close to code, actively contribute to engineering decisions, and drive outcomes end to end.

What do I need?

Strong hands on experience delivering production systems on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including GKE, Cloud Run, Compute Engine, BigQuery, Pub/Sub and Spanner, along with networking, IAM and security controls.

• Solid software engineering skills, with experience in Java, Python or Go, and a strong understanding of microservices, distributed systems, APIs and event driven architectures.
• Experience or exposure to data platforms and AI/ML services such as Vertex AI, GECX.
• Deep familiarity with GCP services such as GKE, Cloud Run, Compute Engine, BigQuery and Pub/Sub.
• Strong experience with Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code tools.
• Experience with CI/CD, containerisation, Kubernetes, and modern DevOps practices.
• Experience working in regulated environments (banking/financial services preferred).
• Strong leadership mindset with a focus on execution, ownership and delivery outcomes.

Why join us?
